Maria CarrasquilloManaging Editor

Maria J. Carrasquillo is a senior at CCSU majoring in English with a minor in Writing. Joining the Helix literary magazine changed the path she was taking in college. One day she might find the courage to submit some of her own work instead of hiding it in her desk drawer. She also hopes to not write another bio for a significant period of time.

Kelsey MurrayPoetry Editor

Kelsey Murray is a junior at CCSU. She is studying Environmental Geography with a minor in Writing. She is happiest when exploring the outdoors, taking and editing photos, hanging out with dogs, traveling, reading and writing. When pestered by family members about why she would major in geography, she usually tells them it’s because she wants to learn about the earth, which isn’t vague at all. Her real goal is to be a storyteller through both photography and writing.

Nikodemas MarcinkeviciusArt Editor

Nikodemas Marcinkevicius has been a part of the Helix team for over a year. Though not a writing major, he joined to see examples of other people’s writing as inspiration for a creative writing class, and stuck around for the awesome team and getting to read what the students of CCSU came up with. When not spending time at college, Nikodemas likes to go on hikes, draw, or spend an arguably disproportionate amount of time at the gym.

Noah HultonWebsite Consultant

Noah Hulton is a Political Science major who, although possessing no real web design experience, took the job anyways. He is a photographer and very into adventure. With a rustic aesthetic, Noah is not quite certain why a self-written bio should be in third person.
